I'm planning to do a weekend tour around Devon in June. I'll be taking my own tent and sleeping bag (only weigh 3kg) and intend to eat brekky at campsite, lunch on the hoof and tea at the pub next to campsite, so not too much to carry. Both campsites will be next to pubs to get maximum refreshment from the day...

A little moan and praise if you don't mind. I bought a new RST jacket from sportsbikeshop.com last week as a birthday present to myself (I feel well old now at 18!! Going grey, forgetting myself and where I'm going!). Now, because I'm still at school (2 and a half weeks left), things I order are quite ofte...
Its not very often that i get on my high horse but recently i have noticed that guys put run reports on here without informing the group that there was a potential rideout on in the first place. It would be nice to have the opportunity especially if its local moan over. -- Edited by doug9270 on Monday 1...

After the creation of the TFR...

Just read my April Trail and the article on page 5. As an undecided voter, thought it a good idea to email the local candidates as to their views on access by all to the countryside. It is easy to do, one email to all parties which provide an email address for questions on their fliers. The article in...

Checked all the wiring over last night after me barbecue (probably going to be eating sausages, burgers and pork for the next few days). Battery terminals and leads were all okay, fluid levels were a bit low but all topped up now. Had a look at all the other wiring, there's a fair bit and I found a couple of...
Am currently reading Mondo Enduro by Austin Vince and his 'Mondo Crew', very good read and inspiring. Read a couple of the Long Way Round/Down/Sideways books by Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor and found them dire, dour and very product placement mentioning! Today I bought Mike Carter's 'Uneasy R...
Doug and I had an interesting chat yesterday to a lady in a horse box who was at first a bit irritated to have to stop for our little entourage, but we took the time to let her know she had a rear flat tyre, which she thanked us for and sparked up an interesting and good natured chat. She was obviously a regula...
